Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council.
EU Council
However, basically we wanted to protect the single market. We also wanted to make sure that we were safeguarded from a financial transaction tax that would have an unfair bearing on Britain within Europe. Unless it was applied on a global scale, we were not going to support it. The noble Lord shakes his head as though I have not been helpful but, if not to safeguard British interests, why else would the Prime Minister have vetoed it?
